8 Franchises that Need the Telltale Games Treatment

Telltale Games has brought the adventure game back to prominence. No matter how you feel about their games, you can't deny the impact they've had. From The Walking Dead to Tales from the Borderlands, they've left their mark. With this prominence comes a question: What other franchises would work in this formula? While the truth is that almost anything could fit, our community picked these eight franchises as needing the "Telltale treatment."

Although Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a great game in its own right, I can't deny that I'd be intrigued to see how Telltale would handle this one. There are a lot of storylines that get relegated to sidequests or passing mentions in [em]DX:HR that a Telltale game would flesh out. We could dig deeper into the societal and political implications of augmentation, as well as the seamy underbelly of that world, without having it be tied to action sequences or firefights.
